Maybe last year but all together in the last 2-3 years we have had nothing but season crippling injuries. Players playing busted all of the time. You can't deny that.

Penrith has had 3 consecutive years of players with season ending injuries.
At one point they could not field an NRL Team and had to ask the NRL to let them field a young player. Pretty sure that the Raiders had the same issue a few years back too.

Players play busted in every Team. The fact that Manly had the oldest team composition for the past few years, would not have helped us.

Now with the new facilities and rehab resources, the younger mob should theoretically stay on the field longer. Although our youngest recruit, Wright did his ACL already - so no guarantees in that respect.
